lyrics

Winneconne bridge, passing foreigners and passers-by
2 AM, a Sunday night, the headlights heavy on my eyes
And now I'm all alone, a world away from home
Vacant sights and yellow lights, I guess I really should have known
What is my purpose here? What was I sent to be?
Asking questions to the stars never made much sense to me
But i know they're all I've got tonight
You are my shelter, moonlight

Thinking back to what you said, rattling inside my head
Shake it off, floor the gas, leave the sadness in the past
Do you know the way I feel about my situation?
Do you understand I'm uneffected by location?
Thinking back to what you said, rattling inside my head
Shake it off, floor the gas, leave the sadness in the past
I want another word, I want another chance
I want to prove to you my life is worth another glance

Winnebago County never seemed so big and dark
I'm just a speck of Buick, with a semi-broken heart
My tail light won't stop blinking, so I'm always turning right
Right back to your house, on this cold and lonely night
I'll wake you from your slumber, and I'll tell you how I feel
I'll open up a hundred secrets I have to reveal
I'll reach out, try to touch you, but I'll open up my eyes
Sleeping at the wheel again is not a big surprise

I've got perfect words to say
Now that you're gone away
Just stay for a minute longer
Now look me in the eye
And try to justify
The way you feel tonight
